Richard Assatly

1976 S/S Embroidered White Rayon Wide Leg Jumpsuit

This 1976 S/S Richard Assatly wide leg jumpsuit was featured in that season's ad campaign, as well as in a WWD profile on the designer. It's white rayon crêpe de chine with embroidery on the top. The top is unlined and semi-sheer, while the previous owner had a light beige lining added to the pants that was more visible under our studio lights than in natural lighting. The front is open with two ties, the waistband is elastic, and the sleeves are long with two buttons at each cuff. The original tassel tie belt is included. There is one tassel missing and the tassels have some fraying, but the jumpsuit itself is in very good condition. It has been professionally dry-cleaned and is ready to wear.
